Hi Everyone,

   I know I haven't talked to anyone in awhile but I am still here.  I have lost 75lbs since January 2009.  That is when I had my gastric bypas.  But as of the last two weeks  I haven't lost any weight but haven't gained any either.  Is this normal to go this long without losing and will it start back up again?  75 lbs is alot in this little time but I feel 2 weeks is long time with no weight movement on the scale.  PLEASE PLEASE tell me it is normal.



Stay safe Everyone

There is my WLS brother!!  First off I want to say congrats on the killer amount lost so far!!  You are going to hit stalls my friend... what I can suggest is taking a look at what you have been eating. Has it been the same for a while? Same calorie in take? Same exercise routine?  I think we need to switch things up now and then...if we do the same routine over and over our bodies get used to it.  My suggestion would be to either make an appointment with your NUT or yourself just try to take in a few more claories or a few less for a couple days(obviously within reason) just to see if you can kick start the metabolism again! It was great to see you psoting my brother!

 Hi stranger.  You are doing great!  Take Robs advice.  i have gone a couple of weeks without losing and then  it just comes off.  Be patient.  We miss you at the S.C. meetings.  Keep up the great work and don't get discouraged.  By the time you read this you probably will have lost more.  It will come off.  Miss you!

Hi Karen

   Thank you for responding I was getting worried though that I was done and I wasn't ready for that.  I am trying to get to the may meeting at SC Hospital.  Sometimes I need a reminder.  Sorry I am getting old memory not as good. hehe  Well hope to see you soon, Stay safe
